0:00.0	Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the Be There and Five podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. What a week this has been. But I'm not even going to start there because more importantly, I do have a
0:22.4	guest this week. And this is an interesting episode to be putting out this week because this
0:27.1	episode was recorded 21 days before the election in a very different world. Not because of
0:32.7	Sharon, my guest, she's outstanding, but because of, like, I would have asked questions differently.
0:39.2	My nervous energy is so hopeful, and it's just not the tone I'm feeling right now.
0:43.3	So it's like, it's just, it's interesting how a lot of this is relevant to like when I'm in
0:49.4	like a healthier mindset. And some of it, I'm like, but when I'm not, I kind of did, like,
0:53.2	I kind of disagree with some of the stuff I'm saying here. Even though it represents like the person
0:57.8	I want to be, I don't want to invalidate people that don't feel that way because I don't
1:01.1	feel that way right now. But anyways, I guess I'll explain a little further. But regardless,

1:18.5	God, what's it?
1:19.7	For me to misquote Celine, you know that my brain is misfiring on all cylinders.
1:25.0	I can't be trusted with a microphone in trying times. I do want to start by saying if I sound a little off.
1:32.8	I just coughed. That seemed performative. Like, I'm sick. You know, part of it, a symptom of an existential crisis, sure, sure.
1:49.0	Um, I have a sick baby. I'm a little under the weather. Uh, I'm recording this at obscure hours because he is a cling master. I hear his little pause, pitter pattern. I did, I did move the
1:54.5	gate farther outside my door. Um, I just love him and I want to squeeze them and spend time with
1:58.9	them, but working from home is
2:00.9	interesting. I don't need to get into that right now, but when the babe's around. But yeah, a little
2:05.5	low energy, but I really wanted to talk. And I apologize if I'm a little off for a myriad of
